His books have been published in 55 countries and translated into 49 languages. But above all, he described Bahia as a person, detailing the typical customs and valuing the miscegenation of the population, as well as contradictions in their free and conservative way. This tour will take you to Casa Rio Vermelho, where Jorge Amado and his wife lived with their family. You will also visit the house of Yemanjá (goddess of the sea) and the fishermen's colony.
